ABSTRACT=<p>Here we present a perspective on <italic>in-situ</italic> studies of high temperature batteries. We focus on a primary battery technology- the thermal battery- which possesses a molten salt electrolyte. We discuss aspects of sample environment design, data collection and will briefly look at some case studies. We aim to highlight the importance of using <italic>in-situ</italic> techniques in studying electrochemical devices such as high temperature batteries.</p>
